Ah I missed that one.
Anyway, it's hard to go into too much detail, because it is supposed to change regularly. The only thing that's constant (which is something I don't paticularly care for) is that we're supposed to constantly learn. They offer training meetings at the office multiple times a week, and we're generally expected to go to one or more (I don't go to any). They expect us to study for and take certification exams (most notably, the Microsoft ones). They pay for the exams and any study materials within reason provided we pass the tests. Anyway, the point of all of this is that when clients have a need for a consultant with ______ skills, we're expected to have _______ skills. So the actual work varies depending on the client. Right now, I'm doing user acceptance testing, which is generally rather non-technical. "Does everything on this screen work like it's supposed to?" It gets a little more in depth than that when we have to go into calculations and such, but that's the jist. In comparison, we've got a number of teams at a number of companies working with rather state of the art software. One that comes to mind is Biztalk. A lot of companies are starting to see the benefits of it, and it's rather intricate and difficult to implement and use correctly. Then there's some people at the company that only do project management. So that will cover resource management, scheduling, planning, etc. Some people cover process improvement. Basically, we have a system set up where each consultant picks two areas they want to "specialize" in, and involvement stems from there. Speaking of, we've got offices all over the country and the world. I can refer you if you're interested/(will) have a degree. Let me know if you want to check the company out. |
Well, if you and Zelaron are still around in 4 years when I get my degree, I'll be sure to contact you lol. I really just want to go into an IT-related field. I feel like I've gained some knowledge about specific subjects since I've been employed at my current job. I've learned at least 5 different pieces of software and am fluent in each of them. I'm trying to get into the IT department here at this law firm before I enroll in school this fall. We'll see how it goes, though.

Quick synopsis of my life since I started Zelaron way back when:
Graduated college with BS in Electrical Engineering (Control Systems) Received my MS in Electrical Engineering (Power Systems) Have been working full time for 3.5 years (Utility Contractor now) Moved to Florida for 2 years for work (Orlando 1 year, then Miami 1 year) Work in PA now Recently engaged to my bitch of 2.5 years Bought a house Bought a 2007 Infiniti G35 Recently bought a puppy - Red Miniature Pinscher named Talon Now I'm just working, planning wedding bullshit, still drinking very heavily, and playing Guitar Hero a lot (I'm pretty fucking good now). |

Well, as you can imagine with all the shit I listed, that money is a little tight now. Now, I have a kegerator in my basement, an 8' x 7' wrap around bar, and a fridge recessed in the wall full of mixers and beer, and the bar is STOCKED with hard liquor. I pretty much live in the basement, drink all night and play GH3, so if that floats your boat, then yes, we'd get along IRL.
Oh, and Guitar Hero Aerosmith comes out Sunday. |

Hello Zelaron... Been a while.... :o |
Bob and I are Facebook friends and he used to send me all these crazy stuff. At least he stopped now, so that's good. Anyone here rich and willing to invest in my business idea or stock fund? Anyway, glad too see so many old schoolers coming back here and say hi. I posted somewhere else that I am working for the gov, and right now I am at work, so I don't have much to say... yup.

Wee...this is so-so-so long ago...
I barely recall. Much passed since. ------------------- Ramification http://www.blackskygame.com |
Ahh, not GravitonSurge, hmm
|
Wow I didn`t notice this many people came back, although I pretty much just did too.

Well, I decided to check my E-Mail today and saw a message related to this. So, hello all... it's been awhile. ;) I am a senior in college now and school has been quite the consumption of time over the last few years... Well, hope everyone is having fun.
|
You better return.
|
Fun enough, I suppose.
